#62Just want to chime in what a big deal their (very low) pricing is, at least to me. As a software engineer, I have been in a tricky situation a couple times when my boss asked me to build out data visualization features in our internal admin dashboards--including generic visualization of arbitrary data in our SQL database. Of course, the correct answer is, "We have better things to use our time on, we should buy somet…
Preach- I'm going through the same process at my company. First I built a custom dashboard, but I haven't been able to maintain it with all the ad-hoc visualization requests I get. So I've been looking around for something else. It basically boils down to sketchy marketing sites (Chartio, Periscope, Mode, etc.) that end up being very expensive.
I'm very hopeful for quicksight, but unfortunately it feels very clunky and hard to use at the moment. Hopefully they improve the clunky UI and give it a SQL inerface.

#63Does it support export yet? (.CSV etc.)
No, not yet (surprisingly).

Yes, the pricing is very attractive. Unfortunately it's still buggy, and lacking many simple features you would expect, e.g. duplicate an analysis someone shared with you to modify it without changing their original copy.

#65Anyone looking for self-hosted data exploration platform (only SQL), Airbnb's Superset[0] (previously Caravel) is good alternative. [0]: https://github.com/airbnb/superset
I've played around with it. When did the name change from Caravel?

#66I think open source data visualization is a good alternative to these out of the box visualization. You have full control of the stack and can grow it. Switching vendor is always expensive. Disclaimer: I work at https://vida.io , an open source visualization tool.
Is Vida cloud-only?

#67Has anyone tried it with a Heroku database? I'm getting an error message saying that the SSL certificate cannot be verified.
Same issue for me. If anyone has found a solution, that would be really nice to share it.
